Hello crafty swapping friends!

FYI ~ I really love deep, bold, vibrant colors! Specifically, my long-time Favorite Colors are: Blue, Forest Green, and Purple!

On the contrary, I DISLIKE light pastel colors. Especially soft pink, peach. :-(

My hobbies include Hiking, Gardening, Various kinds of Crafting, and Collecting things to craft with! I love Paper Crafting and also making pretty things with Beads & Charms.

I really enjoy swapping; especially when people send based on Profiles! ❤️ Even if it's not a posted requirement.. it makes all the difference! I love reading profiles, then going through my stuff and finding and/or making things you hopefully like and will enjoy receiving!

I love when people add comments to my rating... and noting if there's something they particularly liked! :-)

Regarding Extras: I would rather not receive 'random' extras or tuck ins. I am trying to de-stash; so if you'd like to send extras, please only send what is on my LIKE list, thank you.

I sometimes receive envelopes that have been sliced open, damaged, and downright mangled! Often some or all of the contents are no longer in the envelope. The postal sorting machines can be brutally hard on our mail, and it's no fun when swaps get ruined.

Before mailing, please secure your envelopes by taping, especially the SEAMS / EDGES with packing tape or scotch tape. (Washi tape is not strong enough.) I've noticed that the most common damage occurs at the bottom seam/edge. Taping your envelopes before mailing really helps ensure that they will arrive safely and in one piece! :-)

In search of Sticker pages, from only 1 specific HAPPY PLANNER Sticker Book called "Cyanotype" (all Blue)💙. I especially love this sticker book!! 💙 Please don't send any other type of planner stickers in a swap; I'm only looking for planner stickers from this one. TY!

I would be happy to trade for these, ...let me know your Wishlist!
